How does this shirt fit for a big guy? My husband doesn't like tight fitting shirts and wears a 2x. He is 5'8 and approx 280. Would love some feedback

I'd consider looking at the ColdGear shirts that are labeled as "Regular" or "Loose" fitting if he doesn't like tight shirts. The "fitted" like this shirt is, is form fitting and is close to your skin (not baggy at all). You can probably find these on Amazon too, but here is the link to UA's regular and loose fitting ColdGear shirts since it is easier to filter for just those:http://www.underarmour.com/shop/us/en/mens/apparel/tops/longsleeve/loose/regular-fit/coldgear#products

I'm 6' 260 ..2x fits just about right for me...but I would say it's more snug ...I'm not really happy with the "warmness" of the garment...I've had better warmth with a heavy cotton tee and a good flannel actually....

We have three in XL and one in the 5XL. We only use the tops not the pants. My son is 6'5", 260, broad shoulder athlete. I am busty but could probably wear the L, but I like the looseness (and its cheaper just to share the ones we have) Tight when working out is uncomfortable for me. We actually haven't opened the 5XL yet. My husband is a 3XLT, so to accommodate for liking it loose we ordered two sizes larger. They definitely make you sweat. Best to take off outdoors when you're done with your workout.I just noticed the reply below about the ripping/tearing. We've only had to replace ONE suit and I wash after every work out. I wash, use downy on the rinse cycle, and then hang to dry. We have three in XL and one in the 5XL. We only use the tops not the pants. My son is 6'5", 260, broad shoulder athlete.

I'm 5'9" 208 lbs. and I bought the XL. This is a compression shirt so it will be tight. I prefer it that way. Good luck.

I can tell you what experience has taught me.These shirts are meant to be a bit snug;not take your breath away snug but a little bit as to improve performance.So for instance where I normally wear an XL I'd go for a large and so far that's worked for me.Hope that helps.Best of luck with everything!

I'm 6' 4" 235lbs and I got a 2X and it fir very well, I could've gotten a XL but I wanted room for clothing underneath such as a jacket or winter clothing. If he's not going to wear it in the winter that should be fine in my opinion.Hope this helps.

My husband normally wears 2x T shirts( he wears them loose) but he got a Large Tommy Copper shirt and it fits perfect . He swears by it.

I bought my husband the XL-XXL. He's 5'9" about 205#. It fits him good. A little long but it fits like it's supposed to.

Have no idea, I'm 6' 265lbs! It's been along time since I've been 5'6" or 150lbs! Sorry! Maybe a medium? What size shirt you wear? That's what I'd go with.

The XXL on me runs a little short (like most UA attire). It's very tight on the arms. I would have gone with the XXXL if it was available. But I love the shirt and love the cause it supports. I am not tall, 5'10, but I weight 280 and have an "bodybuilder" build...

Well It depends if you like the shirt to fit tight or loose. I like them to fit loosely & I ordered a 2x & it fit me tight like a glove.

My husband is athletic...6'2 and about 200lbs. He got a large and it fits tightly, but not skin tight or anything. Depends how tight you want it to fit...def go bigger than large.

How tall is your husband?I suggest you go for small because it fit me well. I'm 32inch waist and 170cm height. Hopefully it would be helpful for you. Have a nice day

All I can tell you is that my husband normally wears an XL shirt, but we ordered a Large so that it would fit snugly to do the most good, and that seems to have worked well for him. Hope that helps! He is thrilled with his results.

I love this shirt! I got it because it is very fitted - a different style than most Columbia shirts. I am 5'5" and 145 lbs. I bought a Medium because I like the fitted look. I have worn a sleeveless Tee underneath. the shirt is also cut up slightly at the sides, with a bit longer tail and front, not the style generally tied at the waist. If you definitely want to wear the shirt that way, I would recommend the Larger size. Hope this helps!

Hmmmm i weigh 138pounds,5 feet 4 inches,medium built,my waist(along my belly button)is 31inches,my chest is 38inches(while exhaling)and this shirt is waaaaaaaaaay way way to large for me,i ended up selling this item. The quality is perfect but the size is very unfit for me...i hope this answers your question

Hi sorry I took so long to get to you I am 5'9" and weigh 186 I purchased the large I like how it fits it's just a little too short for me and a got a little snug after washing ( I throw them in the washer) I'd say get the x-large for him since men I think won't like snug fitting stuff, and if he can he should wear something underneath just because of the sweating

Not necessarily a large at 185 pounds. I'm 185 and just over 6 1/2 feet tall and I bought an X-large - it's tight. My chest is just over 46 inches though. If you go to Intelliskin's site you can see how to measure for these shirts. If I bought a large I have a feeling I wouldn't be able to get it on.
